Chameleon™ VPNPro & Premier

How Chameleon™ Defeats VPN Blocking

Golden Frog's engineers have developed a remarkable new, proprietary VPN technology called Chameleon that is available in the VyprVPN apps for Windows, Mac, Android and your router. Chameleon scrambles OpenVPN packet metadata to ensure it’s not recognizable via deep packet inspection (DPI), while still keeping it fast and lightweight. The Chameleon technology uses the unmodified OpenVPN 256-bit protocol for the underlying data encryption. The result is that VyprVPN users are able to bypass restrictive networks put in place by governments, corporations and ISPs to achieve an open internet experience without sacrificing the proven security for which OpenVPN has long been known. Experience a truly open and uncensored Internet with Chameleon VPN.

Kurt S, Japan

"Chameleon allows me to have my 256bit encryption that I have VyprVPN for, but also gives me the fantastic speeds that my 320mb broadband gives me. This has improved my browsing ten fold."

The Growing Problem of VPN Blocking Worldwide

There's growing concern worldwide about VPN protocols being inspected, throttled and blocked by governments, corporations and ISPs via deep packet inspection (DPI). For example, since 2012, the Great Firewall of China has been able to identify, block and throttle encrypted communication by recognizing packet data on the OpenVPN protocol. The Chinese government mostly targets Western social media and video/file sharing sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Google+ and Wikileaks. While Chinese citizens and visitors to the country have historically used VPNs to circumvent the firewall, that's no longer easy as their government has become very efficient at identifying VPN protocols via DPI. This has led to more sites being blocked and web traffic being throttled. But China isn't the only problem; North Korea, Russia, Iran, Turkey and a growing list of other countries routinely use DPI to block Internet content and keep tabs on their citizens.
